School Leadership 2.0
A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Everyone should know who Mona McNee is...
Mona McNee, who lives in the UK, is a life-long phonics advocate. She is almost 90. She is still fighting!
Mona is the author of "The Great Reading Disaster," which explains the UK situation, which is perhaps even more pathetic and dismal than the USA situation.
She is also the creator of the "Step-by-Step" reading program, which you can get on the Internet for free.
Her story, and her beliefs, are an excellent way for people to learn quickly about the Reading Wars. She was right there the whole time. She is still in the middle of it.
This link leads to an email interview I conducted with Mona McNee--
http://www.examiner.com/article/interview-with-mona-mcnee-advocate-...
As you'll see, she places a lot of emphasis on writing in order to teach reading. Thus the title of the piece: "Interview with Mona McNee: Advocate for Reading by Writing."

Please pass this on to up-and-coming teachers.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
